The Castle 110 was designed with operator safety as a priority. All Castle
machines are carefully assembled and individually tested before shipment from
our California factory. Upon receipt of the machine, inspect for shipping damage
or missing parts. Report any damage IMMEDIATELY to the shipping company
and to Castle, Inc. DO NOT attempt to operate the machine if you observe any
physical damage. Contact Castle, Inc. at 800.282.8338 for instructions.
